Infant & Early Childhood Feeding Therapy
Feeding difficulties can be stressful and overwhelming for both children and their families. Every child deserves the opportunity to develop safe, enjoyable, and positive feeding experiences. As feeding therapists, our role is to support children and their families in building the skills and confidence needed for successful feeding while making mealtimes less stressful and more enjoyable.
We work collaboratively with families to set realistic, achievable goals and provide individualised, evidence-based support. When needed, we also liaise with Paediatricians, Dietitians, Maternal and Child Health Nurses, and other health professionals to ensure a holistic approach to your child's care.
